Anderson was shelled by the Diamondbacks on Friday, giving up seven earned runs on five hits and walking four over 2.1 innings.
Neither pitcher had a banner day in this one as Anderson's counterpart Robbie Ray gave up six earned runs of his own in what turned into a 9-8 slugfest in favor of Arizona. It was an inauspicious start to the season for Anderson, who has logged a 4.09 ERA in his 200.1 big-league innings coming into this season. Anderson has a decent strikeout rate in his favor with 180 career punchouts to his name, but his lack of a consistent track record makes him a risky fantasy play until shown otherwise.
